To all whmn it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN S. EBERT and GEORGE A. TUCKFIELD, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Salt Lake City, in the county of SaltLake and State of Utah, have invented new and useful Improvements inBarbers Cabinets, of which the following is a specification:

The objects of this invention are twofoldfirst, to provide aneasily-accessible supply of paper for wiping a razor and other usesabout a barbers chair, and, second, for displaying advertisements on thepaper to be used.

The cabinet is to be placed conspicuously in the barbers shop.

The device consists of a base or body having a removable cover on itsprojecting front part and is adapted for holding a roll of toiletpaper.Above this base is an apartment having a hinged front door. In thisapartment are located parts of the mechanism of the device to behereinafter described. Improved means for cutting off the paper alsoform part of the invention.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the device, its various featuresbeing referred to by numeral characters, similar figures denotingcorresponding parts in the several views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation closed and ready for use. Fig. 2 is afrontelevation with the base-cover removed and the door open. Fig. 3 is avertical cross mid-section, and Fig. 1 is a plan of the guide-plate.

The numeral 1 designates the bodyof the cabinet, its front being closedwith a cover 2.

The upper apartment 3 of the cabinet is pref erably made integral withthe body 1 and has at its front upper and lower parts shallow recessesor paper'ways 4 4. A hinged door 5, with a large central opening 6 andhaving a fastening 7, is provided for this part: of the cabinet. The topof this door extends above the case '8 and is inclined upward toacentral point and is furnishedwith a similarly-shaped blade or cutterextending above the door on its rear side.

Within the apartment 3 is a metal plate 9, extending vertically betweenthe paper-ways 4 4. Theupper part of this plate has at each corner apaper-guide 10, which is preferably formed by bending over on the platefrom each side a part of the plate itself. Two slots 11 are cut downinto the plate, leaving a central tongue which acts as a leaf-spring 12.This spring is normally inclined forward beyond the plane of the plate,so as to press lightly against the closed door 5.

The cabinet is prepared and used as follows: Remove the cover 2 and openthe door 5. In the-body 1 place a continuous sheet of rolled paper 13,having the advertisements printed on it. There may also be put in thisbody a supply of perfuming or antiseptic preparations, as are desired.Passthe end of the paper up through-the recesses iand the guides 10 andout above the top of the cabinet. Close and catch the door and put onthe cover 2.
